ANOTHER ATTACK DISCOVERED AT AN ELECTRICITY SUBSTATION NEAR THE BORDER

A 50,000 gallon diesel fuel tank at a critical transformer substation south of Tucson near a border town that has been the center of immigration news lately was the target of an attack last week, but the make-shift bomb failed to cause a major explosion or power outage.

More than 30,000 Arizona residents could have been stripped of all access to power for their homes and businesses, for an unknown period of time, if the explosive device had knocked out their critical transformer substation.

Instead, the device — roughly described by local police as a homespun device that could fit in the palm of your hand — failed to ignite the diesel fuel in one of the storage tanks for four back-up power generators housed at the site.

“On the morning of June 11th, an employee discovered that a hole bad been cut in the fence of a substation that serves Nogales AZ and that the remains of a crude incendiary device was found at the base of a diesel fuel tank,” Joe Salkowski, UniSource Energy Services spokesman told TheBlaze.

Reports last week indicated a large explosion had occurred at the plant, but Salkowski said, “The device caused a small, temporary fuel leak and blackened a small section of the surface of the tank, but did not cause any serious damage to the fuel tank.”

The targeted facility is an electric substation just a few miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border, that provides service to the city of Nogales and the surrounding areas. Most of the power delivered to the customers comes through that substation by way of a transmission line — the large electric cables you see lining the highway and crossing the country — that links the Nogales plant to a larger substation the Tucson area.

Washington (CNN) -- If California's Kevin McCarthy ascends as expected to the No. 2 Republican leadership position in the House, one thing is assured: He will be dogged by the ever-present political specter of immigration reform.

McCarthy's backers are hastily shoring up support for his candidacy as majority leader, but so are immigration reform advocates who want to make clear to him their expectations for action.

Sen. Rand Paul on Wednesday waded deeper into an issue that has proved perilous to some of his GOP colleagues, throwing his political weight behind an establishment lobby effort to get Congress to reform the country’s immigration system this year.

You need to be a member of Tea Party Nation to add comments!

If you all think back to Reagan years, immigration reform was on the table.....they said if you allow those who were here illegally citizenship, we will protect the borders. Dé Javu? Exactly when will either party protect our borders? Now, we have chaos, and what magic wand will they all wave now? Norquist thinks we need these people for what? Our economy is in the tank with more people on entitlement programs, and he thinks this will help? This mass migration is overwhelming our system, so those in power think they will strong-arm the American people.....great! Instead of follow the law, this is how they operate?

YA THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT WILL KNOW ABOUT IT IS ON THIS SITE ((((((((( SO THE REST OF THE 300 MILLION PEOPLE WON'T )))))))))) THEY WILL ONLY LISTEN TO THERE LOCAL PROPAGANDA NEWS ++++ THEY DON'T KNOW IT IS PROPAGANDA ++++++ SO DUMB GETS DUMBER +++++ .

Our Border Patrol agents are akin to the little Dutch boy who used his finger to plug a hole in a dike until it could be repaired, saving his town from flooding...... But the townspeople came to the aid of the little Dutch boy ~ no one in Obama's administration is coming to the BP's aid..... Quite the opposite! The administration is increasing the flow of illegals, creating a tsunami of refugees that are transported anywhere and everywhere, to spread their poverty and disease and illiteracy coast-to-coast.....

Who'll be the first to stand-up and shout: "I'm mad as hell ~ and I'm not going to take it anymore!!!"?

Were Screwed. The ONLY thing we have left is Armed Revolt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They say NO NO NO NOT THAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's what they want, Well HELL people whats it going to take to get people off there ASSES and do something. Everyone talking but not doing Like Cliven Bundy now that was the Real AMERICANS I like to see. The only thing I disagree with is that the Federal Agents was allowed to leave and not be detained by the Americans that were there.
